@RAZA-ABBBASI

Thank you for sharing the root cause of the issue!

[mrcodecloud]

I even try adding following dependency but still no luck

implementation 'com.groupdocs:groupdocs-viewer-cloud-android:21.8'

• I did try adding repositories section to the app level gradle file

[vladimir-litvinchik]

@RAZA-ABBBASI

Please make sure to declare the repositoy at allprojects.repositories section of the project level of build.gradle file e.g.

// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.
buildscript {
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath "com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.2.2"

        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
        jcenter() // Warning: this repository is going to shut down soon
        maven {
            url 'https://repository.groupdocs.cloud/repo'
        }
    }
}

task clean(type: Delete) {
    delete rootProject.buildDir
}

And then referencing package at the dependencies section of the app level of build.gradle file e.g.

plugins {
    ...
}

android {
    ...
}

dependencies {
    ...
    implementation 'com.groupdocs:groupdocs-viewer-cloud:21.8'
}

I did try to do exactly as you mentioned above, but still no luck. I am posting my gradle files here now.

Project level gradle file

// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.
buildscript {
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath "com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.0.0-beta04"

        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
        maven {
            url 'https://repository.groupdocs.cloud/repo'
        }
    }
}

task clean(type: Delete) {
    delete rootProject.buildDir
}

I've prepared a sample app that was created in Android Studio from templates and added a reference to the SDK. Can you try cloning and try building the following app https://github.com/vladimir-litvinchik/referencing-viewer-cloud-in-android-app and checking if the issue still persists?

[mrcodecloud]

@vladimir-litvinchik Thanks for the sample app, it's working fine.
Now I am trying to figure out the difference between your and mine and will report the reason here.

Thanks

[mrcodecloud]

The problem was following code in the project level settings.gradle file

dependencyResolutionManagement {
    repositoriesMode.set(RepositoriesMode.FAIL_ON_PROJECT_REPOS)
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
        jcenter() // Warning: this repository is going to shut down soon
    }
}

It was added by default on creating new app, After commenting this code I got my project build successfully.
Thanks @vladimir-litvinchik your sample helped me to find the cause of issue through difference check.
